Add argument flags to the jack-in transient menu#4061
Merged
Conversation
Surface the jack-in settings that legitimately vary per-invocation as transient infixes on cider-start-menu: aliases (--aliases=), the ClojureScript REPL type (--cljs-repl=) and whether to edit the command before running (--edit-command). The jack-in suffixes read those args and let-bind the matching options, so the underlying commands stay usable outside the transient. The aliases flag in particular makes activating an alias discoverable right where you jack in.

Builds on the jack-in/connect transient (
cider-start-menu) by giving it magit-style argument flags for the settings that actually vary per-invocation:-aAliases (--aliases=) - set the Clojure CLI aliases for this jack-in without touching config. This is a nicer answer to UX improvements for jacking in with additional aliases #3317 than the hint alone: aliases become visible and settable right where you start the REPL.-lClojureScript REPL type (--cljs-repl=) - pick shadow/figwheel-main/node/browser/... for this cljs jack-in.-eEdit command before running (--edit-command) - the discoverable replacement for theC-uprefix trick.The jack-in suffixes are thin
transient-define-suffixwrappers that readtransient-argsandlet-bind the matching options (cider-clojure-cli-aliases,cider-default-cljs-repl,cider-edit-jack-in-command), socider-jack-in-cljand friends stay fully usable outside the transient. Follows the existingcider-doc-menuinfix pattern.Unit-tested the arg translation; the interactive menu itself is worth an eyeball. (Also fills in the CHANGELOG for the jack-in transient, which landed undocumented.)
